      Description

        Widening of types allows widening of boolean to int. This causes undesirable results with both ternary operator and return values of functions. Both examples below print "1", when they should print "true":

        print((function (x) { return x ? true : 0 })(true))
        print((function (x) { if(x) { return true } else { return 0 } })(true))
